Introduction
This is one of my favorite dinners to make because it takes all of 30 minutes from start to stop and yet it tastes like it's taken all day! I've made it with pork also and is just as good that way! This is especially good for late summer/early fall when you are trying to figure out just what to do with all that zucchini in the garden!
